Is there a reason the White House sits at the point of an inverted pentagram?

Question

See for yourself... Go to Google Maps, type "white house" in the search queue, and hit send... Zoom out a bit and switch over to satellite view and you will see an inverted pentagram built in the city's grid work, with the White House seated right at the tip of it... Architectural blunder? I think not...

FYI: An inverted pentagram is the symbol for the Goat of Mendes, or Baphomet, and this symbol is unique to Satanism. Incidentally, Baphomet is depicted as being synonymous with God and worshiped as such by Freemasons, according to a someone I spoke with who associates himself with that group. This is interesting to note, since it's pretty well-known that every US president has been involved in Freemasonry among other secret societies.

Why is our government blatantly putting such a nefarious symbol right at the center of our capitol?

@wiccan: Perhaps you can enlighten me on some things I'm wrong about, then? Feel free to drop a message...

@glass: This has nothing to do with "conspiracy theory"... Symbolism is ingrained in our species and if you're going to use it then you damn well better have some explanation as to why... If not, you're just making yourself look more conspicuous.

@wiccan: I know that a pentagram is a symbol of protection, but Baphomet is pretty unique to Satanism, if I'm not mistaken. Oh, and I didn't give you thumbs down, in case you're wondering.

And as far as my "friend" goes, he is more likely my nemesis... He told me he's a Freemason/Illuminati, he wears a Masonic ring, he told me his group worships Baphomet because they see no distinction from that and God, and he also told me he is a member of the Reptilian Race.

I just know that he's a very negative person with an aura of darkness that surrounds him, and he's also an energy vampire that feeds off of my friends. If his claims are false, then he is misrepresenting the Freemasons by wearing that ring and claiming to be one.

I'm only seeking the truth... Why would some condemn me for that?

Here's an outline of the symbol, for the perceptually challenged:

Answer 1

Actually, I doubt that every president of the United States has been involved with Freemasonry, as such was proclaimed by the Church to be involved with practices of heresy and Satanism. Come on now, We know the way that people from without look at Satanism. It would make a lot more sense if many or most of our presidents had done everything in their power to deny that this country was, in fact, started (even just in part) by the Freemasons.

To answer your question, It makes sense to me that the White House would be seated at the tip of an inverted pentagram because when it was built, the Freemasons were one of the predominant forces in the country, and as I said, they were said to be the early american followers of the Left Hand Path. Once the Xian Church emerged, however, I could personally see more likelihood that the institution of the Presidency would disavow any knowledge of and espescially any association with Freemasonry. At that point, people all over the country were converting, and for that reason, anyone deemed to be a Heretic would be unwise to run for president, or at least could expect to get very few votes.

Also, in response to the "no relative points on a sphere" comment: in this case, you're wrong, only because of where The White House is located and the direction it faces in relation to that point of the star. It's located so that it's front points towards the bottom point of the star, meaning that the direction the pentagram faces in relation to The White House would be "down", if you catch my logic. If it were on the opposite side, I'm sure we'd be talking about why the Freemasons put The White House beneath a Witch's Pentacle, instead of a Satanist Pentagram.

And the guy who said that the inverted pentagram is not restricted to Satanism is wrong too. The point UP pentagram is widely used throughout paganism in general, but only we Satanists actually use it with the otherwise "top point" facing downwards.

You referred to the Inverted Pentagram as "Nefarious", which Dictionary.com defines in the following ways:

[Origin: 1595–1605; < L nefārius wicked, vile, equiv. to nefās offense against divine or moral law (ne- negative prefix + fās law, right) + -ius -ious, with intervocalic s > r]

You would actually be surprised to find that the vast majority of Satanists are not "wicked", "vile" or "against moral law". You are going by the definition of Satanism which was set in place by the Judeo-Christian Church, but their definition of us is nearly completely inaccurate (and those of them who have done their research KNOW that). Father Satan doesn't actually tell us to "ritually sacrifice" people, and ritual slaughter and mutilation is actually an early Catholic concept, put in place to appease the wrath of Jehovah. Want proof?

Deuteronomy 12:27 - ”And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.”

-The Catholic Bible

Regardless, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Satanist who practiced said "nefarious" activities, unless you came across some rebellious teenager with a bad case of Anti-Christ Syndrome, or someone who was legitimately mentally insane, and thought the voices in their head telling them to do such things was actually "The Devil".

So the answer to your question is, "Because the Freemasons were in control back then, they placed the White House at the tip of one of their principle symbols." That's as best as I can explain it.

Ave Satanas!

-Valkyri

Answer 2

As far as I know, though I haven't done much research into the Freemasons, there's no correlation between inverted pentagrams and Masonic rituals, though I could very well be wrong. My objective, however, is to point out that the world is round. This means that star can't really be "inverted" or pointing downward, as there's no such thing as down on a relative point *on* a sphere. So it could very well just be a pentagram, if that *is* what the constructors of the place had in mind.

Answer 3

not every U.S. President has been or is a Free Mason, but a good number of them were/are.

Masons were instrumental in designing the city, so it's likely their symbols would find a way into the design.

However, just because "you" use an inverted pentagram as a tool to worship the devil doesn't mean that I view an inverted pentagram the same way. It's all in the interpretation.

Answer 4

You seem to be a bit into conspiracy theories. The roads in Washington were intentionally designed to mimic a wheel with spokes, so as to make travel throughout the city easier (whether they succeeded in that goal is certainly debatable). This "inverted pentagram" is pure coincidence. Additionally, the idea that Freemasons worship Baphomet is silly. Your friend is either lying to you or pulling your leg.

Answer 5

Yes - the whole white house Washington area is one inglorious satanic sign - go to the 'Cutting edge ministries' website and view the aerial photo with the pentagram laid out over it to understand the issues better.

Answer 6

Interesting, isn't it?
But FYI, you are SO incorrect. Please study more.
Quoted: "FYI: An inverted pentagram is the symbol for the Goat of Mendes, or Baphomet, and this symbol is unique to Satanism."
No, it's not. An inverted pentagram is also used by certain traditions of Paganism to show a certain degree in the religion. It is NOT a strictly Satanic symbol.

Answer 7

Allow me to add.
An inverted pentagram is used at some (not all) Pagan funerals.
But in this case I hardly think there is going to be or is a death in the white house.
Why don't you write or phone the white house and put this whole thing to them? I'm sure people wouild like to know what their answer is going to be.

Answer 8

That's funny, I though pentagrams had 5 points, while this one only has 4. the fifth point is not connected to the other 4, so it is not a complete pentagram.
See?

Too bad.

It looks more like a big triangle to me. How DARE they build the white house on a big triangle!

Answer 9

Sorry: didn't get it, It seems to me a kind of triangle inside a square or something like that. I think some people like to see images in the things for example figures out of a cloud

Answer 10

The Freemasons built or at least planned out the city so of course they would built there symbolism into it.
